Koh Lipe is the southernmost island of Thailand in the Andaman Sea. It is part of the Adang-Rawi archipelago. This archipelago forms, together with the Tarutao archipelago, the National Park Koh Tarutao. The Chao Lay live on the island. This is a tribe that lives mainly on the islands in the Andaman Sea. Although Koh Lipe is part of a national park, the inhabitants are only allowed to develop part of the island for tourism. All other islands is prohibit. On the car-free island there are a few narrow roads that connect the beaches, because that is what it is all about: enjoying the sun, sea and beach. The seawater is emerald green-blue and crystal clear. The island is surrounded by a beautiful coral reef with numerous beautiful tropical fish. With the longtail boat you sail to the most beautiful and best snorkling spots in the area. That it is a National Park means that the entire island is protected area. This is not for nothing, because nature here is really beautiful. Twenty years ago I had been here with my wife, together with our daughter back again. See photo from 1998.

Koh Lipe is a small island in the Southern part of the Thai Andaman Sea. It is famous for it's white sandy beaches, crystal clear water and bountyful marine life. The main transport hub for Koh Lipe is Pak Bara with daily speedboats boats running all year. This cluster of islands is part of the much larger Tarutao National Marine Park, a nature reserve established in 1974 as Thailand’s second National Park. It consists of about 50 islands and covers 1500 km². We visit Koh Lipe in the low season for peaceful, romantic walks along the deserted beach under the moonlight. Low season with rain but we had some holiday luck ;-) Photo of Men unloading cargo from the long-tail boat. The small island in the background is Koh Kra.

Koh Lipe is het meest zuidelijke eiland van Thailand gelegen in de Andamanse Zee. Het maakt deel uit van de Adang-Rawi-archipel. Deze archipel vormt samen met de Tarutao-archipel het Nationaal Park Koh Tarutao. Op het eiland wonen de Chao Lay. Dit is een stam die voornamelijk op de eilanden in de Andamanse Zee leeft. Ondanks dat Koh Lipe deel uitmaakt van een nationaal park mogen de inwoners slechts een gedeelte van het eiland verder ontwikkelen voor toerisme. Alle andere eilanden zijn onbewoond. Op het autovrije eiland lopen enkele smalle wegen die de stranden met elkaar verbinden, want dat is waar het op hier vooral om draait: genieten van zon, zee en strand. Ons Salisa resort is op de sunrise beach en heeft een fantastische ligging. Het zeewater is smaragdgroen-blauw en glashelder. Het eiland wordt omringd door een prachtig koraalrif met talloze prachtige tropische vissen. Met de longtailboot vaar je naar de mooiste en beste snorkelplekken in de omgeving. Koh Lipe ligt 65km van het vaste land. Met de speedboot vaar je dit in 1.5 uur. Foto van Mannen die de zware lading van de long-tailboot lossen op het eiland Koh Lipe. Allemaal handwerk op eiland. Het kleine eiland op de achtergrond is Koh Kra. Dat het een Nationaal Park is, betekent dat het gehele eiland beschermd gebied is. Dit is niet voor niets, want de natuur hier is werkelijk is prachtig. Twintig jaar geleden was ik hier met m'n vrouw geweest nu samen met onze dochter weer terug. Zie foto uit 1998.
